Abstract
|
|
|
|
Cryoglobulinemia, first described by Wintrobe and Buell in 1933, is characterized by the presence of serum immunoglobulins that precipitate below 37degrees C and that dissolve on rewarming. Although the actual mechanism of cryoprecipitation and the etiology of cryoglobulinemia remains obscure, it is frequently associated with other systemic diseases, such as hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, multiple myeloma, Sjogren’s syndrome, B cell lymphoma, and systemic lupus erythematosus. No cases of cryoglobulinemia associated with B cell lymphoma have ever been published in the Korean medical literature, and few such cases have been reported in other countries. Herein, we report on a rare and interesting case of cryoglobulinemia developed in a patient with gastric diffuse large B cell lymphoma.
